He Had Failed Prince Rhaegar Once. He Would Not Fail His Son, Not Whilst Life Remained In His Body.

He had failed Prince Rhaegar once. He would not fail his son, not whilst life remained in his body.

“Ser Gerold is more a viper than your uncle ever was. Prince Oberyn could see that he was poison, he said so more than once. It’s just a pity that he never got around to killing him.”

(Daemon Sand - Arianne, TWoW)

“Men call me Darkstar, and I am of the night.”

(Ser Gerold Dayne, AFFC)

Felt like drawing this badboy™ because I love bad boys.

So I have always pictured Oberyn with a viper-like braid and decided to doodle him while I was on vacation, and finished coloring him as a warm-up! 

Daenerys Appreciation Week (2019) || Day One ↳ Dany had no wish to reduce King’s Landing to a blackened ruin full of unquiet ghosts. She had supped enough on tears. I want to make my kingdom beautiful, to fill it with fat men and pretty maids and laughing children. I want my people to smile when they see me ride by.. – A Game of Thrones

Jon flexed the fingers of his sword hand. The Night’s Watch takes no part. He closed his fist and opened it again. What you propose is nothing less than treason. He thought of Robb, with snowflakes melting in his hair. Kill the boy and let the man be born. He thought of Bran, clambering up a tower wall, agile as a monkey. Of Rickon’s breathless laughter. Of Sansa, brushing out Lady’s coat and singing to herself. You know nothing, Jon Snow. He thought of Arya, her hair as tangled as a bird’s nest. I made him a warm cloak from the skins of the six whores who came with him to Winterfell … I want my bride back … I want my bride back … I want my bride back …

the ladies of Fire & Blood 4/? - Alys Rivers, the Witch Queen

Who was this woman? A serving wench who dabbled in potions and spells, says Munkun. A woods witch, claims Septon Eustace. A malign enchantress who bathed in the blood of virgins to preserve her youth, Mushroom would have us believe. Her name suggest a bastard birth… but we know little of her father, and less of her mother. Munkun and Eustace tell us she was sired by Lord Lyonel Strong in his callow youth, making her a natural half-sister to his sons Harwin (Breakbones) and Larys (the Clubfoot). But Mushroom insists that she was much older, that she was wet nurse to both boys, perhaps even to their father a generation earlier.
